Intrusive Thoughts, OCD and Meditation ~ Q&A with Julian Daizan Skinner

Daizan answers a question from subscriber @Xie Lian about dealing with intrusive, scary thoughts in meditation and coping with OCD.
Zenways promotes and encourages activities and practices that enhance human wellbeing, balance and awakening (satori or kensho - the enlightenment of Zen) in the many different situations we find ourselves in. Over many years of strict training, in Japan and the west, Julian Daizan Skinner received dharma transmission and permission to teach in both the Rinzai and Soto lineages of Zen. He now teaches at the Yugagyo Dojo in London, UK. May these recordings help you and those around you to find and realise the truth.

As a person with OCD, I can confirm that this is very good. Buddhist practice helped me with it where psychology never could.

Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear you've had a good experience and meditation has helped you.

[@ianc8266]

I realised upon looking at this again that I should add that just because the psychological profession didn't help my case doesn't mean it won't help yours, and, like Daizan, I suggest trying those routes if you haven't alongside Buddhist practice.
